The first poem I posted was inspired by one of my favourite places - a tiny house in the Western Isles of Scotland. Here are some other poems based on the Outer Hebrides (where my husband's family come from).
This poem is based on the same cottage!
Holm:
Fragrant warmth - peat fire
steaming onion soup
Isolated croft-house
Pine table laid - dinner for four
Whistling kettle, cat purrs noisily
deep in fur rug - by orange fire
Rain pounded window-panes
outside - wild waves, purple sky
Groaning wind - vast green spaces
owned by ragged sheep
